Re: Problem with Zounds Seecs

I got the most lovely response from Betsy last night and her explanation really makes sense. These hostas come from all over and one does not know what happened in their transit period. Maybe I got zapped. Or maybe something happened at the donor's. These hostas (three six cells) are surrounded by other cell packs, all of which germinated. Just these did not. I have a bottom heater and will move these there, however, and see if that will do the trick. Before doing it, however, should I freeze them? Many thanks. Sandra

Hi Sandra, I was just wondering if you are giving the seeds some bottom heat. I know it's still winter for quite a while way up there in Montana. I use a propogation mat for seed sowing in the greenhouse. The mat has a thermostat with a soil probe that I keep at around 70 to 72 degrees F.
